Under sink RO systems are cheap. Amazon has a lot of them.
Small systems are capable of 50 USG @day. I have had mine for years.

This article doesn't mention the cause but the last paragraph does say that the Coca-Cola bottling plant has its own private well. Mexico's favorite
drink is in good supply. So that's good news.........

I have no knowledge of the cause(s)
whatever the water officials are publishing might or might not be true
the ones responsible tend to blame someone/something else
like all average politicians
fact is that parts of La Paz have no water
not intermittend - nada for weeks

Article states only one well location and only certain neighborhoods are w/o water….
Any pacenos got some on the ground info on the matter?
Woke!

Harald, are places that have private wells losing their ground water?
Campestre Maranatha has two or three wells supplying their needs, but they are just a few feet above sea level, so going deeper to reach more water is
not an option without installing a treatment system.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

I recently read a report written in 2019 by scientists at a university in BC saying that the aquifer that supplies Ensenada 30% of its water is being
drained at twice its recharge rate. The vineyards in Valle de Guadalupe, between Ensenada and Tecate, draw irrigation water from the same aquifer.
------------------------
"Official reports made by the Comisión Nacional del Agua (CONAGUA) [29] in 2018 estimated that the annual water balance values of the aquifer are
currently in a deficit. At the date the report was published, the average annual recharge was 18.8 million m3. However, the groundwater volume of
concessions for extraction was 36.92 million m3; therefore, there is a deficit of approximately 18.22 million m3."

I have heard that some of the wells have turned salty
that is also a complaint about the water delivered by the Pipa trucks - salty

90% of the water in Baja (both states) goes to agriculture.
Those are established rights.
BIG money behind it.
They will not give up their water rights.
as always - less for the common folks.
Your condo/house in Baja may have been a bad idea
Cheers to all who laughed about Al Gore etc.
You are not changing reality by claiming it is a liberal hoax.
no need to bring up the palm tree again
some never learn

Yup, anybody that has a house anywhere in Baja needs a backup water supply. A tank connected to the house plumbing with a pump controlled by a
pressure switch to keep the system pressurized is the best. When the water is flowing, fill up.
Tijuana has had planned conservation outages where different sections of the city lose water supply for 24 hours on different days. It's all planned
out and well publicized.

Here is an article in BCS Noticias describing the closed purificadoras. It indeed sounds like a dire situation.

The land can only support so much.
People and animals migrate to find new land when the land they are in can no longer sustain them.
Baja is 'almost an island' yet people keep moving to it from the mainland or the north.
Fortunately, hurricane season is upon us and the annual rains are coming (hopefully). To support this many people on a long, skinny peninsula, full of
farms and now cities, reservoirs and dams need to be built or seawater desalinization plants. A pipeline across the gulf from a Sinaloa river could be
another option... Or, the masses can move back to the mainland or the north... Options are there.

Well, no, Al Gore peddled an idea that humans can change the climate and the polar ice would vanish (and he pocketed millions). I heard one of Al's
(many) mansions he bought, was on the beach! Very odd if you believe the sea was rising and going to flood the coastal cities.

Who's going to pay for all this? The Mexican government?
But, isn't that SOCIALISM????
And, how did the corporate farms secure most the water rights? No corrupt practices involved, I'm sure.

So what is the cause?
Did well run dry?
Or is it mechanical failure in well/pump system?
Woke!

Based on this article in Diario El Independiente, it looks like the water trucks are no longer on strike, but the purificadoras remain
shuddered.
